Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will review her departmental estate in order to reduce costs; and if she will make a statement.

By September 2014 following relocation of the Department for Communities and Local Government to 2 Marsham Street, the size of the non-operational administrative estate occupied by the Department will have reduced by 22% to 315,000 sq m since May 2010. Annual savings will be in excess of £50 million.
